  Here is Dr. Wernher von Braun’s incredible story – from his early years in Germany, where he gave birth to modern rocketry, to his arrival in the United States and his launching of the first American satellite, the first man on the moon and other stunning space exploration feats. “Every page of Wernher von Braun’s life is a monument to the drama of adventure. Few people have been fighting so hard and, indeed, very few have been subject to so much criticism, so much jealousy, so much defeat—yet, very few have lived to be honored and to harvest the fruits of so many wonderful victories as has this man.” Author Erik Bergaust has had the advantage of knowing von Braun as a friend, hunting and fishing companion, space business associate—and biographer—for more than twenty-five years. Thus, he has been able to present a dramatic portrait of an important personality and a 20th century hero.

  Ethology - The Science of Animal...

  Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior, focusing on how species interact with their natural environments. Unlike psychology, which often examines behavior in controlled laboratory settings, ethology emphasizes the observation of animals in their natural habitats. This field seeks to understand the evolutionary significance of behaviors, uncovering how instincts, learning, and environmental influences shape the way animals survive and thrive.  
  The origins of ethology can be traced back to early naturalists who observed and recorded animal behaviors in the wild. However, it was not until the 20th century that ethology emerged as a distinct scientific discipline. Key figures such as Konrad Lorenz, Nikolaas Tinbergen, and Karl von Frisch laid the foundation for modern ethology. Lorenz is best known for his studies on imprinting in birds, demonstrating how young animals develop attachments to their caregivers. Tinbergen’s work established the four key questions of ethology, which explore behavior from different angles: causation, development, function, and evolution. Von Frisch, on the other hand, revolutionized our understanding of animal communication through his research on the intricate dance language of honeybees. Together, their contributions helped establish ethology as a critical field in biology.  
  Studying animal behavior is essential for understanding both the natural world and our own place within it. By examining how different species communicate, cooperate, compete, and reproduce, ethologists gain insights into the complex mechanisms driving life on Earth. This knowledge has practical applications in conservation, helping to protect endangered species by understanding their behavioral needs. It also plays a role in improving animal welfare, from designing better habitats in zoos to enhancing the treatment of domesticated animals.

  Are we alone in the universe? It's a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA's Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like stars—especially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant stars—a bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes; gas giants several times the size and mass of Jupiter; and planets orbiting in stellar systems that had only been imagined in science fiction. 
   
   
   
  Steffen offers a unique, inside account of the work of the Kepler science team (and the sometimes chaotic interactions among team members), mapping the progress of the mission from the launch of the rocket that carried Kepler into space to the revelations of the data that began to flow to the supercomputer back at NASA—evidence of strange new worlds unlike anything found in our own solar system.

  I Am Cosmic Mind

  I Am Cosmic Mind is the third book in the 'Save The World Series'.  The total knowledge gained here provides us with a new pathway through the evolution of the human species, because our present species - Homo Sapiens - has led us to the verge of extinction.  A Cosmic Mind lies within us all and is helping our next iteration emerge - 'Homo Planetae' or 'Man of The Planet' begins humanity's next branch of Evolution. 
  The first book in the series - How To Turn Back Time describes how Time flies about the universe in waves, for which I hope to win the Nobel Prize in Physics someday.  Everyone experiences waves of good and bad events the crests and the troughs of the time waves in our lives.  
  The only question left in my mind was - 'Where do these waves originate'.  For ocean waves, we know they come from the other side of the planet where the wind whips them up and they travel all around the planet.  For Time Waves, they must originate somewhere in the middle of the universe where other forces whip them up and blow them all over the place until they land in the events that make up our lives.  The answer to this question came to me in 'I Am Cosmic Mind' and are published here for all to see.  
  Then, more recently, I discovered that within our lives Time Waves are things I call 'Time Point Certainties' - These can be likened to the subatomic particles that carry up all other forces in the universe.  So, now we know that there are Time Waves that create a Time Field that is the flux that holds all other fields together in a 'Layer Cake' kind of assembly.  Inside all of this are points in time, like the one you are witnessing now that are the most important points of time you can recall.  All of this was designed by and is always maintained by a Cosmic Mind - who speaks to us all here.
